Inside Arunachal’s Systemic Corruption
May 29, 2026
In the northeastern region of India lies Arunachal Pradesh — a state known for its natural beauty, tribal culture, and strategic border with China. But beneath this landscape exists a system where corruption has become part of everyday life.
From buying votes with lakhs of rupees during elections to contractors allegedly paying massive commissions to secure government projects, corruption runs deep across the state. Because Arunachal Pradesh shares an international border with China, the central government allocates huge funds for infrastructure and development. But where does that money really go?
This documentary explores how corruption in Arunachal is no longer limited to politicians or officials alone — many believe it has evolved into an entire system involving power, money, contractors, voters, and institutions meant to ensure accountability.
This is not just a story about politics. It is about how corruption slowly becomes normalised within society.
